Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the batter: Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Beat the yolks with the sugar until foamy, add the water and mix well. Mix the flour with the baking powder and gradually fold it into the yolk mixture. Finally gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 °C for about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Layering: Spread a layer of apricot jam over the cooled sponge. Briefly dip the baby sponge biscuits into the cooled black coffee and arrange them evenly over the jam.
  • Preparing the cream: In a bowl combine the egg yolks, pudding powder and milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Let it cool completely. Beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy and gradually mix in the cooled pudding. Spread the cream over the layer of biscuits.
  • Egg white glaze: Whisk the egg whites with the sugar over a bain-marie until a thick, glossy meringue forms. Spread this glaze over the top of the cake and smooth it out. Finally sprinkle with grated chocolate.
  • Chilling: Let the finished slices chill in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, ideally overnight, so that all the layers set nicely and the flavors meld.
